The document describes research on using wavelet regression (WR) models and artificial neural network (ANN) models to forecast river stages of the Kosi River in India. WR models were developed using discrete wavelet transform to decompose historical river stage data into wavelet components, which were then used as inputs to autoregressive models. The WR models achieved higher coefficients of correlation and lower root mean square errors than ANN models when evaluating predictions against verification data, indicating WR models more accurately forecasted river stages of the Kosi River.
